Water Poetry Prose

The traveling new-media exhibition, Water, Water Everywhereis — as are so many endeavors these days that seek to consider water –named after a short stanza in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s famous seven-part poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:

Water, water every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water every where
Nor any drop to drink.

The subtitle to our exhibit, Paean to a Vanishing Resource, expresses what is happening to the water on our planet, but on a hopeful and even celebratory note. Paean comes from the Greek, “a song pf joy, praise, or victory,” “a healing song.”
